Driving Experience
On the road, driving the 2024 Kia Carnival Hybrid is surprisingly effortless, especially given its size and stature. Despite being a large and tall vehicle, the Carnival Hybrid handles like a much smaller car, thanks to its responsive steering and smooth suspension. I never felt behind the traffic, and it was easy to navigate through busy streets and tight spaces, which is often a concern with larger MPVs. However, you might lost the skills to parallel park with this ride which is rather tight and challenging to do so.

When it comes to fuel efficiency, The 2024 Kia Carnival Hybrid offers impressive fuel efficiency, making it a great choice for eco-conscious families. With its hybrid powertrain, the Carnival Hybrid delivers a combined fuel consumption of approximately 6.0 to 6.5 L/100 km, depending on driving conditions. This data was attainted over the course of two days with mix of 70% expressway and 30% city driving—a respectable figure for an SUV of this size and weight. Again,the hybrid powertrain delivers a nice balance of performance and efficiency, so you can enjoy a smooth drive while keeping fuel consumption in check.

Conclusion
Overall, the Carnival Hybrid combines practicality and comfort, making every drive a smooth and enjoyable experience, whether you're tackling city traffic or cruising along Singapore's expressways as well as going on long road trips. It's a great family car that doesn't compromise on driving pleasure, even with its larger dimensions.
